The Musical Taj Mahal of the Desert...

No People, No Roads from the new release A Mended Soul was recorded at the Tank Center for Sonic Arts in remote Rangely, Colorado. The Tank is a 70 ft. X 40 ft cylindrical steel water tank with wondrous sound reflection characteristics first discovered by composer Bruce Odland in the 1970's. What sets it apart (sonically speaking) from other such water tanks is that when it was set in its current location, the weight of the walls settled into the unstable soil pushing the center of the underside upwards and creating a convex floor. It was a pilgrimage site for Colorado composers and musicians for decades until 2013 when it was in danger of being sold for scrap metal. A Save the Tank effort followed and two Kickstarter campaigns later it has opened to the world. The 40-second, swirling sound delay is what gives the song No People, No Roads its haunting, enveloping atmosphere. TankSounds.org
